Friday, June 26th, will be our end of season summer sendoff
and to help us go out in fine style, we are thrilled that guest hosts,THE HALTOWN STOMPERS will be sharing their lively raise the roof antics and jug
band sensibilities.

Just so as you know... A jug band is a band employing a jug
player and a mix of traditional and home-made instruments. These home-made
instruments are ordinary objects adapted to or modified for making sound...
like the washtub bass, washboard, spoons, bones, stovepipe and kazoo.

No doubt we'll see some of these crazy instruments and hear
some wild and crazy music played by four wild and crazy guys and a gal.
Of course... bring a story or tune or two of your own whether you have a jug or not and
join the juggernaut as WTF! hoots into summer.

Now in its 6th year, WTF! is primarily an
acoustic unplugged open-mike session for performers of all ages in the
traditional & folk music vein... singers, instrumentalists and storytellers
in particular.

Co-hosted by the ever-jovial Cindy Campbell-Stone &
Margo Carruthers with occasional guest hosts, WTF! meets every second and fourth Friday of the month (from Sept-June) at SPENCER
HOUSE, 5596 Morris Street in Halifax where sing-a-longs are known to
spontaneously erupt and laughter is always a given.

Come anytime after 6:30pm. Entertainment starts around 7:00 and goes until
9:00ish. As always... admission is by free-will donation towards the Society's work. All proceeds from the sale of
baked goods and beverages from the Spencer House kitchen will go to help
support the operation of Spencer House.

Parking is available on site behind the building after
6:00pm, and on all the neighbouring streets.
